Chapter 28: Father-in-law and scholar
County city, the top scholar building.
The name of this inn is Zhuangyuan Building, which is said to be a chain and is available all over the country. It is located near the examination room and is extremely popular during the scholar exam every year.
At this moment, there are a large number of candidates who discuss exam issues, difficulty of exam papers, and whether to do a good job in the exam.
On this point, they are not much different from those candidates in later generations, but instead have many similarities.
At this moment, the poor students were watching strongly, eating melons silently, while the top students sat upright, relying on their memory to recall the exam questions.
You say one, I say one, and then comment on it. This question is actually not difficult... This question is a bit difficult... This question is a bit meaningful... This question tests...
The nearby poor students took up their pens, ink, paper and inkstone to record the memories of the top students.
From time to time, I would also feel sad when I looked at the exam questions recalled by the top students.
At the same time, there were many father-in-law in their forties and fifties, who formed a group to watch the candidates.
It is normal for these father-in-law to have big arms and round waists. They each have jade pendants on their waists, gold chains hanging around their necks, and some even play with gold ingots directly in their hands.
This behavior is very nouveau riche, but it is also very effective. After all, even a top student is just a quasi-scholar. When you see Jin Yuanbao, you will naturally be very interested.
The father-in-law's attention was focused on the top students, and they liked them no matter how they looked at these top students, especially younger top students.
Even I was thinking about how much dowry I would pay when I married my daughter.
If you get a scholar, the court will be assigned to be an official! Moreover, as long as you have money, you can continue to be promoted even if you don’t get a Juren. It is still possible to be promoted to an eighth-rank official.
Even if you have money, study with peace of mind and work hard, what if you get into the juren?
However, the number of academic masters is limited, but the number of father-in-law is large and large. Therefore, you can often see several father-in-laws watching the matter of a scholar-in-law at the same time.
Of course, the top students are only top students rather than gods. Therefore, they also have test questions that they cannot recall, and even many of them.
After all, there are often top scholars, but not often. However, at this moment, the legendary god of learning has arrived!
"The test paper is out!"
"What? Why is it so fast? According to convention, it shouldn't be released when the results are released?"
"No, no, no, someone wrote the entire test paper!"
"How is it possible? In the past, even if you meet a genius, it often takes the second or even the third day, and countless candidates can only appear with the efforts of them, right?"
"No, no, no, this time, a real genius appeared. He wrote the whole set of test papers alone!"
"It's true, let's see!" A student stood up and said loudly.
Upon hearing this, the poor students made way out, while the top students surrounded them.
“The first question is correct.”
"The second question is OK, either."
"This is the third question, that's right!"
Soon, the top students saw the back. Listening to the top students' discussions, the poor students around were shocked by the guy who wrote the test papers dictatedly.
"This boy has either a high-level cultivation or a real super genius. He is a genius, no matter which one he is, he is a genius!"
"Who is it? Who is it?"
"There is an explanation below, Xiong Yanmo."
"Xiong Yan? Who is Xiong Yan? It seems a bit familiar. You must have heard of this name before."
"I feel a little familiar when you say that."
"I understand. It's Xiong Yan from Xiongjia Village. Last fall, he changed his imperial examination at the age of twelve. When he took the exam for the child, he scored the full mark. At that time, he wrote the test paper shortly after the exam. Everyone in the county knew about this."
"Yes, I remembered it too. It caused a sensation at that time. Many people thought that he would definitely be able to pass the scholarship. Even if he was a Juren, there was a certain possibility. But now it seems that Juren will not be able to trouble him!"
Even a juren cannot help him. How unpredictable is this? Many people want to refute it, but looking at the dictated test paper, the more you become, the more you know how big the gap is between them.
This time, Xiong Yan from Xiongjia Village, Shangyan Township, Gu County, and thirteen-year-old Xiong Yan, the name of a super genius, quickly spread throughout Linshui County.
...
In the room, Xiong Yan and Oak Hua sat opposite each other, and in the center was still a crystal ball emitting light.
"When I was taking the exam for the child, I had only thousands of thoughts, but this time, I had tens of thousands of thoughts, and soon it would turn into hundreds of thousands of thoughts. These were enough to be a god after death in ancient times! And they must be an official!" Xiong Yan said affirmatively.
In ancient times, the system was not perfect and there were many loopholes, and the majesty of the court was not as good as today.
Even there are often immortals, ghosts, gods and demons who use extraordinary power to interfere in human affairs.
"The entire Linshui County has twelve counties. Official records show that the total household registration is 200,000 households, and the total population is as high as 2 million."
"And the scholar test, once a year in the county, there are no less than 100,000 scholars paying attention to this matter. So many people are circulating the name of Your Highness, which is indeed good news for the next luck test." Lihua said seriously.
Lucky Test? Listening to the four words "Saying the Word", Xiong Yan recalled the relevant information in his mind.
A long time ago, some people believed in luck, and some people did not. Some people thought that if everything could be successful, whether it should be done, just observe the direction of luck, and you will know.
Some people also think that this is nonsense! My destiny is in my own hands, and the future is only in my own hands. What luck and luck are all reasons for the loser to find!
Later, the Qing Emperor Ye Qing achieved enlightenment with his luck and entered the heaven from humanity. After achieving enlightenment, he invented and promoted some magic related to luck, such as the Qi-seeing technique.
Since then, anyone who practices immortals can learn the qi-seeing technique and can see the luck of the opposite side to a certain extent.
Later, after research, people found that once they enter the court and enter the system, those with insufficient luck will absorb the luck of the court. Those with strong luck will absorb the luck of the court.
Since then, even the imperial examinations have been affected. From the beginning of the scholar, there will be such a lucky examination. Those with more luck can even be admitted without the examination.
At that time, what kind of achievements a person can achieve in the end is almost settled from the time he was born.
If you lack luck, no matter how hard you work, it will be useless. Once you do something big, it will be even more impossible to succeed.
Even when the palace examination was held, the court decided on the top scorer, second scorer, Tanhua and other positions based on the luck.
However, however, these are the rules of the previous dynasty.
In this dynasty and in Dachu, the rules have changed since Emperor Taizu was domineering and conquered the world as a pure military general.
The luck test is still there, but the scores are greatly reduced, and there are many restrictions, which have become a useless existence.
Under the new examination rules, even if you are not lucky, you can get good grades.
Explanation: During the Three Kingdoms period, the population of Nanyang County, Dixiang was over one million. Therefore, it is not impossible for Linshui County to have a population of two million.
